Jack the Giant-Killer is a brave boy who lived during the reign of King Arthur. After a local giant named Cormoran raids his family's farm and steals their livestock, Jack decides to kill the creature, who lives in a cave by the sea. Jack sets out with nothing but farm tools as weapons, and an old horse named Dobbin. Although nobody takes him seriously, he manages to lure the giant into a hole and kill it with a pick to the head. After gaining a reputation as a "giant-killer," Jack is captured by the vengeful Blunderbore. However, Jack manages to escape and slay Blunderbore and his brother, Rebecks.

At this point, Jack becomes the servant of King Arthur's son, and goes on to slay more giants, dragons and demons (including the two-headed giant Thunderdel and Galigantus), eventually becoming a knight of the round table. He marries the daughter of a duke he rescued from captivity, in the court of King Arthur.

During the course of his adventures, Jack uses many weapons, including axe, sword and pick.  He also obtains magical items including a magic sword, a cloak of invisibility, a cap of knowledge and magical shoes of swiftness.

The character should not be confused with Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk for, although being similarly named and both vanquishing giants, they are NOT one and the same.
